- 1 p |
- 34 |
| After |
5 u |
1 p |
110 |
Total number of passion fruits and mangoes sold
= 144 - 110
= 34
5 u + 1 p = 110
1 p = 110 - 5 u --- (1)
1 u + 1 p = 34
1 p = 34 - 1 u --- (2)
(2) = (1)
34 - 1 u = 110 - 5 u
5 u - 1 u = 110 - 34
4 u = 76
1 u = 76 ÷ 4 = 19
Number of passion fruits now
= 5 u
= 5 x 19
= 95
Answer(s): 95
